Yeah, this cold water could be a real problem. I guess those guys who do ice dives must be real supermen ( I did ice dives back in the mid seventies in Lake Erie, near Buffalo----this was FAR from challenging). So you think the Labrodour cuurent is the REAL Deal, and our Gulfstream and Newfoundland combo, complete with reverse shear 50 feet from the bottom is nothing. Wake up. Our current is MUCH bigger than your current (Grin) , but seriously, ours is to big to hang clipped off on a line connected to the bottom----we have a drift diving proceedure, even for wreck dives. I'd like to see you guys clipped off in a 5 mph current <grin>.
